would this make a good neck knife?

I dont believe so, if youre thinking of putting on as a necklace, id say no. Very bulky with the sheath. And even if you bought a different sheath, the length and weight of it would make it more of a nuisance. This is more of a strap to the hip or backpack kind of knife.

That will depend on how you intend to use it. THe sheath would seem a little bulky for around your neck.

I would say yes but not without seriously dulling the blade. I'd suggest a different knife for that. Still a good knife though.

Yes, it would work well in the neck position. The nickel plating is not dark at all. It's shiny like chrome. You can visit your local music store to look at some before ordering online. ;-)

Absolutely....should the need arise God forbid, this sword will easily handle either a strong sideways slicing blow, or a forward motion stab. It comes quite sharp out of the box, but as a collector I always like to put my own edge to it. The point will go thru a lot more than just soft flesh. This is a very vicious sword, and far from being anything to play with. I do however have one suggestion to make and that is to find a good strong military grade paracord, or something very similar and wrap the handle to give it a better grip. As it is the grip is a bit thin for bigger hands like mine. It not only provides for better gripping power, but also helps to soak up any moisture from sweating hands. Just be sure that your wrap is very tight and very even, and that your tie-off is at the back end of the handle. You can even use the ring as a tying point. All-in-all.... I would not want to be facing the business end of this sword. It is double edged, it is very sharp, and will easily dispatch even the largest of attackers. The throwing knives are not sharp on the edges and do not seem to want to sharpen no matter how hard I try. They do have a good point and would stick if thrown properly. I'm not a thrower so I cannot make suggestions or give any kind of worthy advice. But I can recommend the sword to anyone looking to add to their collection, or add to their self defense arsenal.

I'm sure it can be used for "bushcrafting". Big, sharp cutting and strong enough. As I bought the Natchez for hunting purposes (dispatching wild hogs), and I guess it was primarily intended for fighting, it would not be my first choice for a survival knife. I perhaps would opt to use my Warcraft Tanto instead...

If memory serves, a chinese knife is similar to a cleaver. I don't think this item would hold it securely.

yes, but it has size limitations. I would not use it like a chef knife, but I tend to pick it up for specialized jobs.

It would cut it without a problem, but in all honesty there are other knives much better suited for such a task. This is not a sturdy rescue knife, it's a gentleman's folder with a pretty thin blade. That said, it will still cut the seatbelt no problem.

Hi Corgi, it would totally be suitable. Just a reminder that this knife is HUGE! The blade is 10". And it is so sharp that is dangerous, but it works wonderful. I bake my own bread and needed a bigger knife i thought. However I think it is wonderful and I love it. At the moment Im looking for a sheath cause you cannot touch it accidentally , it is that sharp. Also carved a pork butt with it the other day. Works like a dream.

Possibly, but unlikely. I use mine as a key chain, so I doubt it would for me. The knife is pretty substantial on it's own.

Yeah I think it would. But I would recommend getting a smiths tri hone sharpener to go along with it. It really gets that edge razor sharp. The knife is also very easy to sharpen because of the scandi grind.

I wouldn't recommend it, this electric knife is not durable enough or powerful enough for cuting bone. A handheld knife might be better because I have yet to find a strong enough electric knife for this.

I have no experience with this knife as a skinner, but it should be good. The cutting edge of the blade is curved and that should allow separation of the the hide from the flesh more easily. When opening up large game, the hump in blade was designed to push internal organs out of the way and thereby lessen the risk of puncturing them.

Judging by the weight and the appearance I would have to say yes. This is a nice knife for the price.

Mr. Byers, Yes sir, it should do pretty well, it has a good heft, comes with a sharp blade and will hold an edge.I'm happy with mine.

There is always "a chance" that the neck knife could come out of the sheath. Any neck knife". Mostly it would be due to snagging it on something, like a shirt sleeve or jacket when it is being removed or put on, or a branch or rock , etc. that you rub against. That being said, my sheath seems relatively secure and, if I keep it down my T-shirt, it is less likely to snag on something. Hope this was helpful. R Burd Sr

it depends on the weight of the knife. I would think that a light knife would be okay, but a heavy one would not work.
